[PATCH 00/23] Improve OP-TEE handling

[Marco Felsch <m.felsch@pengutronix.de>]

Hi,

by this patchset I want to improve the current barebox OP-TEE handling.

Currently there are many paths which do all have their own pitfalls.

 - ARM (i.MX6, i.MX6UL(L)):
   - bootm OP-TEE loading (deprecated)
   - early boot loading:
     Barebox and OP-TEE make use of a 'magic' FDT memory location, which
     was used by OP-TEE to pass information like 'reserved-memory' nodes
     and the used firmware interface and the psci node.

     Barebox doesn't pass the builtin FDT which could be used by OP-TEE
     to determine the memory setup.

 - ARM64 (i.MX8M, i.MX93, Rockchip):
   - early boot loading via BL2
     Barebox doesn't make use of the 'magic' FDT memroy location and
     instead uses Kconfig options which need to be in sync with the
     OP-TEE config switches during compile time to configure the
     'reserved-memory' nodes and firmware interface.

     Barebox doesn't pass the builtin FDT which could be used by OP-TEE
     to determine the memory setup.

 - RISC-V
   - no OP-TEE support yet

By this patchset I want to implement a common flow, while keeping the
backward compatibility. The common bootflow shall be:

 - BL2:
   - opt. extracts the builtin DTB into a buffer
   - passes the DTB to OP-TEE via arch dependend boot arguments.
 - OP-TEE
   - uses the DTB to gather information like memory setup
   - can dyn. configure the TZC accordingly
   - provides information back to barebox via DTB overlay fragments
     (added to the provided DTB (details..)). This can be
     'reserved-memory' nodes, OP-TEE call-interface (smc), or secure HW
     configurations (like CAAM secure-jobrings)
 - BL33 (pbl)
   - extracts the information from OP-TEE and registers it via a well
     known handoff data ID for barebox proper.
 - BL33 (proper)
   - the common barebox proper boot path checks for a specific
     handoff-id and registers the OF overlay as early as possible during
     boot.

BL2, OP-TEE and BL33 (pbl) are architecture dependend steps for which
common helpers are added by this patchset.

BL33 (proper) is common to all and addressed by this patchset as well.

The patchset targets the i.MX8M platforms, other platforms need to be
converted later on.

Regards,
  Marco
